February 2015 Photo Competition

The topic for this month is:

Light Trails

My favourite 'thing' to photograph. Should be easy enough with these long wintry nights. Get your tripods oot!

This thread is for entries AND discussion

Good Luck!

Cheers, Ryan.



Rules:

The photos taken must be your own work
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month

All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.

I think I've stopped in that same layby! Liking the last remaining blue light in the sky.

I'll go a bit of a different direction with this theme.

Nice. Steel wool spinning is the next thing I need to try. I've already bought all the necessary stuff. Just need to get out there and have a go.

Well, another great photo comp! Lots of fantastic entries and I've now got some good inspiration for the next time I'm out with the camera. Cheers to everyone who participated.

So, the top three:

Third place.

Really liked the minimalist look with this picture. In fact, I was out last night standing on a footbridge over the A66 trying to do something similar laugh.

Second Place.

I've always got time for some steel wool spinning. I like the thought that's gone into the foreground with the silhouetted person under the umbrella.

And the winner of the Pistonheads February Light Trail Photo Competition and receiver of many internet points:

First entry and a clear favourite of mine from the start. Awesome location with the road snaking its way through the Glen. The last blue light in the sky looks great against the red and white of the car lights.
